Independence Ship Review

The Independence was introduced in June 2010. While the passenger capacity is the same as the American Star and American Spirit, the size of the ship is a bit larger, enabling the interior areas to be even more spacious and deluxe. The Independence also is fully stabilized allowing American Cruise Lines to reach even more fascinating destinations in smooth comfort.

American Cruise Lines' fifth small ship, the 104-passenger Independence, debuted in summer 2010.

Built at the company's Chesapeake Shipbuilding in Salisbury, Maryland, the Independence is part of ACL's fleet of six U.S.-flagged ships that operate along the East and West Coasts. The Independence's two close sister-ships, the American Star and American Spirit, both carry 100 passengers. American Glory takes 49, and Queen of the Mississippi takes 150.
